Text description provided by architect.
The Yuyuan Road Hongye Garden Ceramic Art Studio project in Shanghai is the second completed small house in a series of "Nooks and Corners" plans by several architects, with a three-year gap since the first result.
Continues the architects' focus on the small, often overlooked corners of urban spaces.
The goal is to enhance the quality of these spaces through architectural renovation and to activate urban areas in a more localized manner.
The collaboration with international ceramic artist Li Jianshen's team provided a foundation for the operational content of this second small house.
In the process of project design and construction, designers mainly focus on the continuation of the street atmosphere in the building, as well as the precision and ambiguity of the design based on the current state of the building during the renovation process.
The new building does not erase the traces of the original building, but rather overlays it, hoping to create a continuous memory.
In the original single story 27 ㎡ building, the designer gradually refined the working methods by placing the reception area, work area, display area. And sleeping area into it, ultimately achieving the unity of space and function.
And we hope to ultimately integrate with the surrounding neighborhoods and contribute to the vitality of urban space from a more diverse perspective.
